  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Control
    public final class PasswordExpiringResponseControl
extends Object
implements Control
    The Netscape password expiring response control as defined in draft-vchu-ldap-pwd-policy. This control serves as a warning to clients that the user's password is about to expire. The only element contained in the control value is a string representation of the number of seconds until expiration. 
     
 Connection connection = ...;
 String DN = ...;
 char[] password = ...;

 BindResult result = connection.bind(DN, password);
 try {
     PasswordExpiringResponseControl control =
             result.getControl(PasswordExpiringResponseControl.DECODER,
                     new DecodeOptions());
     if (!(control == null) && control.hasValue()) {
         // Password expires in control.getSecondsUntilExpiration() seconds
     }
 } catch (DecodeException de) {
     // Failed to decode the response control.
 }

    • Method Detail

      • newControl

        public static PasswordExpiringResponseControl newControl​(int secondsUntilExpiration)
        Creates a new Netscape password expiring response control with the provided amount of time until expiration.
        Parameters:
        secondsUntilExpiration - The length of time in seconds until the password actually expires.
        Returns:
        The new control.

      • getOid

        public String getOid()
        Description copied from interface: Control
        Returns the numeric OID associated with this control.
        Specified by:
        getOid in interface Control
        Returns:
        The numeric OID associated with this control.

      • getSecondsUntilExpiration

        public int getSecondsUntilExpiration()
        Returns the length of time in seconds until the password actually expires.
        Returns:
        The length of time in seconds until the password actually expires.

      • getValue

        public ByteString getValue()
        Description copied from interface: Control
        Returns the value, if any, associated with this control. Its format is defined by the specification of this control.
        Specified by:
        getValue in interface Control
        Returns:
        The value associated with this control, or null if there is no value.

      • hasValue

        public boolean hasValue()
        Description copied from interface: Control
        Returns true if this control has a value. In some circumstances it may be useful to determine if a control has a value, without actually calculating the value and incurring any performance costs.
        Specified by:
        hasValue in interface Control
        Returns:
        true if this control has a value, or false if there is no value.

      • isCritical

        public boolean isCritical()
        Description copied from interface: Control
        Returns true if it is unacceptable to perform the operation without applying the semantics of this control.

        The criticality field only has meaning in controls attached to request messages (except UnbindRequest). For controls attached to response messages and the UnbindRequest, the criticality field SHOULD be false, and MUST be ignored by the receiving protocol peer. A value of true indicates that it is unacceptable to perform the operation without applying the semantics of the control.

        Specified by:
        isCritical in interface Control
        Returns:
        true if this control must be processed by the Directory Server, or false if it can be ignored.
